Lyrics and translation The Smiths - Sheila Take a Bow (January 1987, John Porter original version)
Is
it
wrong
to
want
to
live
on
your
own?
Est-ce
que
c'est
mal
de
vouloir
vivre
seul
?
No,
it's
not
wrong
but
I
must
know
Non,
ce
n'est
pas
mal,
mais
je
dois
savoir
How
can
someone
so
young
Comment
quelqu'un
d'aussi
jeune
Sing
words
so
sad?
Peut
chanter
des
paroles
si
tristes
?
Sheila
take
a,
Sheila
take
a
bow
Sheila,
prends
une,
Sheila,
prends
une
révérence
Boot
the
grime
of
this
world
in
the
crotch,
dear
Botte
la
saleté
de
ce
monde
dans
le
fondement,
ma
chère
And
don't
go
home
tonight
Et
ne
rentre
pas
ce
soir
Come
out
and
find
the
one
that
you
love
Sors
et
trouve
celle
que
tu
aimes
And
who
loves
you
Et
qui
t'aime
The
one
that
you
love
and
who
loves
you
Celle
que
tu
aimes
et
qui
t'aime
Is
it
wrong
not
to
always
be
glad?
Est-ce
que
c'est
mal
de
ne
pas
être
toujours
heureux
?
No,
it's
not
wrong
but
I
must
add
Non,
ce
n'est
pas
mal,
mais
j'ajoute
How
can
someone
so
young
Comment
quelqu'un
d'aussi
jeune
Sing
words
so
sad?
Peut
chanter
des
paroles
si
tristes
?
